After more than two decades of catching killers, Lt. Kenda has memories that 13 years of retirement and even the best therapist in the country can't bury. During his tenure, Lt. Kenda and his team solved 387 homicide investigations, resulting in a 92% solve rate. In each one-hour episode of HOMICIDE HUNTER, Lt. Kenda re-opens his "Murder Books" for viewers - folders in which every detail of his murder cases is held - to revisit each case and detail the beats and process of how he solved each crime. The result is a personal journey for Lt. Kenda as he chips away at the long-suppressed nightmares that have plagued him for so long.

"I developed a heart made out of railroad steel for these moments," said Lt. Kenda. "I worried about that sometimes. This process has allowed me to come to terms with a lot of these memories. I don't want to tell these stories. I need to."
